SARAH!

Sarah said: “I would love a style consultation because i live up north in the middle of nowhere where there are no cool bookshops full of fashion magazines, no independent shops and very few young inspirational people so as you can guess it’s pretty tricky to find a cool style to make my own ”

If you’re not Sarah, don’t fret as Mademoiselle Style is giving ALL Sassy Minx readers a 25% discount when booking a MS service before July 31st, quote ‘Sassy Minx‘ when you book – woop, woop!

So, this is one for the girls that ask me about lingerie, and where to get it from, every time I tell them what I do. Because girls, no matter what shape or size you are, there is fabulous lingerie out there for you. And if you don’t know what and where, here’s my Sassy Minx guide to pretty, perfect-fitting underwear…

A to the DD

If you’re a size A to a DD, you’re incredibly lucky as the world is pretty much your bra! As broad as this sounds, every retailer worth its salt should stock your size. Nevertheless, I’m told frequently by A and B cups that they want bigger breasts, which is fine but I also want to take the opportunity to say that there are excellent products out there like balcony, half and quarter cup bras that give shape and sex appeal – the latter two being something any size over a D find difficult to pull off. As for C to DD cups, what a lucky girl you are!

Budget Babes
You lucky ones can get away with something these F’s can’t – Arcadia. Feel free to snatch and grab from Topshop, Dorothy Perkins and Miss Selfridge. And beyond this – H&M, and pretty much, the rest of the British High Street – get shopping, g-friend!

Girly Glam
Yes, Master gloriously does what it says on the tin, with its decadent yet cheeky collections. Lascivicous is innovative and highly desirable with a masses of sexuality. Miss LaLa’s will sing to your inner movie star and make you want to lounge around with tousled hair and Brigitte Bardot pouty lips. Seriously.

Ba-Ba Boom a la Bust
Agent Provocateur, Coco De Mer and MYLA are your weapons of choice. Feel free to use them any which way you want……

Volupte Vixen (AKA Big tits)
So you can’t get bras that don’t have huge straps, and all the bras you see are frumpy and unfashionable, right? WRONG. You’ve got bangers that just need to be banged up properly. The name of the game is support and comfort, because lets face it, you just aren’t going to feel like a glamazon unless it’s both of those things, so start educating yourself as to where where the pretty ones are hiding, even if you do have to put up with the straps – if I do, you do!

Budget Babes

Some high street shops do go up to a G cup. Good old Marks and Spencer’s have the Ceriso and Adored ranges which are purrity and very fashion-led. Asda are also great too – the Katie Price range is excellently priced for moulded cup bras with pretty detailing. La Senza is also very good for acidic clashes and pretty patterns.

Girly Glam
Masquerade and Cleo are delightful. Both a daughter of the Panache brand, Masquerade caters in balcony styles, and Cleo in plunge styles. To rival this, there’s even more choice from Freya and Fantasie, the daughter of the Evedon brand, which is pretty much available everywhere. You are spoilt for choice, ladies.

Ba-Ba Boom a la Bust

It’s really hard to find more luxury plus size cups that go beyond F, just because when you reach beyond that, the bust in question has to be tailored properly which is not easy to mass-market in price point compared to the brands in Girly Glam (above). However, there is some choice – Chantelle is decandent and feminine and goes up to an F in some ranges and Miss Mandalay has gorgeous styles – try Paige. The most exciting news is that Elle Macpherson Intimates launches it DD-G range later this month, so keep your eyes peeled as it is sure to sell out – I know, I’ve seen it! Finally – if you want to be super naughty, like me, Agent Provocateur does go up to an F cup – F stands for fox, doncha know?

SOLUTIONS-because it wasn’t ever going to be THAT easy to give you advice!

Odd ones
Let’s go for unique – tres chic. One is bigger than the other. I can assure you this is completely normal, and you don’t need to think about going to Transform to enquire about getting a boob job.  To even things out, you can get padding in silicone, foam and even bead form, I’d recommend the cheaper silicone. Luckily, you can get half cups which is handy for slight differences and full cup, for obvious differences.
completely recommend Fashion First Aid for this as they have lots of handy tools to use and make the best of your bust.

Hot Mama
Hot Milk are for sexy new mothers and mothers to be. With cotton inside cups, and stretch lace for the top panel, the bra offers lift and growth. You should pick your usual size, and check that you can fit your fingers in between the flesh and the cup at the top of the bust, this means you can wear throughout pregnancy and during feeding, meaning you make the most of your bra! Also try Elle Macpherson maternity, or Agent Provocateur for sexier styles.

So to summarise here are my final tips;
1.  Get measured make sure you’re wearing the right size – more tips from me in the ‘About Us’ section.
2.  It’s trial and error, all brands offer different fits, so experiment until you find out what suits you best.
3. Make sure you’re comfortable and will feel comfortable to wear your lingerie – there’s no point splashing out 150 pounds plus otherwise!
4. You are a Sassy Minx. You are sexy and your body is something to be treasured and pleasured. Believe it.

And of course, if you need some help or a bit more direction, please feel free to ask me down below – I dont usually give people that opportunity !

I know this movie isn’t out ’til September, but I can’t help but get excited about it right now…yep, THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE, my soon-to-be new favourite movie, puts you in the very expensive shoes of the world’s most influential woman in fashion, Anna Wintour, editor of Vogue magazine.

Ladies, please join Miss Aimee and I as we slick on a blood-red, cupid-bow pout and shake our diamond-encrusted pasties in homage to Britain’s best loved showgirl, Immodesty Blaize.

Immodesty is the quintessential Sassy Minx – she’s an international show-girl superstar, she’s a striking, statuesque bombshell with Ava Gardner-esque looks and a kick-ass 1950s pin-up girl figure, she’s the Reigning Queen of Burlesque at Las Vegas’ Burlesque Hall of Fame and quite frankly, she’s the eptitome of fabulousity – who else dazzles audiences in London, New York, Cannes and Las Vegas with an eight-foot Swarovski-encrusted rocking horse, an enormous glitter vintage telephone and a be-jewelled array of simply de-voom costumes?

If that wasn’t enough, Britain’s number 1 showgirl has now turned author-girl. Her debut novel, Tease is a heady-mix of glitz, intrigue, sex and passion, and offers a tantalising peek behind the scenes of the most glamourous of showbiz professions – and do you know what else? She’s kicked off her fluffy mules and is reclining seductively in our world o’ minx and sass – to say we’re excited would be quite possibly be an understatement.

No, that’s not me – I know, hard to believe, right? That’s a crazy-cool surf-girl doing crazy-cool surf-girl things in Cornwall.

Oh Cornwall,  how I heart thee.

Now,  I am by no stretch of anyone’s imagination an actual surf-girl, but a visit to Cornwall, on the South West coast of the UK, makes me want to be one. A lot. Mainly because if I surfed all day, I’d be able to eat clotted cream on scones in the back of a camper van with a chilled-out, dreadlocked surf-boy by night – le sigh.

There are moments in a girl’s life when she feels freakin’ lonely. My lonely time is usually the Sunday after a heavy night out, when I look not-so-glam, I’ve eaten chocolate for breakfast and cried my eyes out to SATC the Movie for the gazillionth time. For me, the morning after the night before is one of the hardest things about being single, but staying in that dark place for longer than I need to is not cool, but the good news is that being single doesn’t need to equal lonely – embrace the alone time, make every hour Me o’ Clock.

Minxes, take my hand and come on a trip to Scoopsville City.

Why?

Because I’ve hooked up with the radular Zoe Larkin, the designer-girl responsible for creating the ‘Blake’ brooch that become an iconic addition to the craziness that is Amy Winehouse’s beehive – I know, awesome, right?

I’m a li’l bit in love with all of Zoe’s Love From Hetty & Dave creations, but my totes favourite is the double sided personalised heart necklace – le sigh. I want it in pink with a silver chain and for it to say ‘Sassy’ on one side, and ‘Minx’ on the other – hot, non? All her creations are handmade and are perfect-o for rockin’ up a blazer, a girly dress or a big ‘do ala Miss Winehouse oh, and I’m a li’l bit in love with Zoe too, as we share a love for the same inspir-o girls, 1950’s tattoo designs and Frida Kahlo – come share in the awesomeness that is Love From Hetty & Dave…

First up – big apologies for the sporadic posting here at SM, but I’ve got a good excuse, honest…I’ve moved house!

Yep, hang the pink bunting, Sassy Minx HQ has a new pile o’ bricks – it’s a by-the-sea girly pad and while it’s not entirely pink and fabulous just yet, I’m channeling Martha Stewart – the domesticated goddess Martha, not the fraud/prison dwelling Martha – to make sure that it will be very, very soon, by making lists.

I am a list-making freak.

Fact.
